School librarians often find themselves betwixt two different worlds that come with quite varied expectations. They are seen as the arbiters of traditional learning and academia, with library spaces providing books and quiet places for self-enrichment and study. They are also often given the responsibility of being the building's technology…

Background: Engineers must learn to document their process to communicate effectively in teams--a skill that calls for knowing "how" and "when" to capture information, as well as the self-regulation to continually engage in this practice. Motivation to self-regulate requires that students be motivated to complete a goal and see…

Centering student perspectives, this mixed methods study examines a project-based learning (PBL) unit enacted across five inclusive 9th grade English language arts (ELA) classes in one urban high school. We share how this unit offered students opportunities to experience new types of challenging but rewarding assignments in multimodal accessible…

Purpose: The presented study was conducted to unpack high school students' motivational influences in engineering/computer science project-based learning (PjBL), using the attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction (ARCS) model of motivation as a conceptual framework. Methods: A qualitative research approach was used with student focus…

This study highlights the effectiveness of the observation sheet in directly analyzing urban facilities, identifying gaps, and assessing students' knowledge about urban space (the medieval city of Târgu Mure? and its surroundings), as well as the effects of direct observation on the elements identified by students within the urban space. The study…

This quasi-experimental study investigates the effectiveness of project-based learning (PjBL) and its integrated science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) variant (PjBL-STEM) in enhancing scientific creativity among high school students. Conducted in an Indonesian senior high school, 69 tenth-grade students were assigned to an…

To address the changes that exist in the educational field, educators and curriculum developers are in constant search for innovations to keep up and foster alongside this timely educational revolution. In this case, this study emphasized the integration and parallel use of Phenomenon and Project based learning methods in High School General…

The intention of this article is to provide Technology and Engineering Educators (T&EEs) with a more thorough understanding of the product realization process (PRP) being implemented during machine design. Machines can be defined as the combination of simple machines and mechanisms for the purpose of doing work (Hughes & Merrill, 2021b).…

Despite the recognized efficacy of project-based learning (PBL) in fostering students' conceptual understanding, there is a notable gap in comprehensive research on its cross-disciplinary aspects, especially within the Lebanese context. This study seeks to investigate the impact of the Cross-Disciplinary Project-Based Learning Approach (CDPBLA) on…

There is a worldwide trend to include engineering design in high school curricula as a bridge course to higher-level STEM education and to increase high school students' interest in STEM fields. This study used a battlebot design curriculum to compare engineering design learning between high school and college first-year students and then proposed…

This study investigated the effect of project-based learning and self-efficacy on students' entrepreneurial readiness in vocational high school. Quasi-experimental method was used as a quantitative research design for this study. The setting of this study was SMKN 1 Sukasada, Buleleng, Bali in which 76 of eleventh grade students were selected as…

Project-based learning (PjBL) facilitates STEM learning, but the integrity of the project activities is a challenge and the design of integrated STEM courses through PjBL remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to design and evaluate a transdisciplinary STEM course integrated through PjBL in robotics. Participants in the teaching experiment…

This study aimed to investigate the relationships between knowledge absorptive capacity, listening, and multiple intelligences. Data were collected and analyzed from 79 students at Tainan First Boys' School and Anping Junior High School. An experimental design was implemented, dividing participants into two groups: a didactic instruction group and…

Background/purpose: Learning chemistry is often considered challenging due to its abstract nature. To address this, the application of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) emphasizes learning through real-world projects to enhance conceptual understanding. The Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) approach enriches this process by…

The ability to think critically and creatively is a capability that must be possessed by student in this century. This ability is needed to adjust to changes, it takes habit in bringing up new ideas to solve various problems that occur. This study aims to determine the effect of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model with the brainstorming method…
